The Rand gold uranium mine has been developed for more than 100 years, and the upper gold, platinum group metals and uranium ore have been almost mined, but this huge ancient conglomerate-type gold uranium mine is too big, if it were not for the exploration of the star core, Tang Feng really couldn't imagine that there was such a large gold uranium mine in the world. In contrast, the Olympic Dam gold uranium mine that Tang Feng once saw in Australia is really much smaller.

The vast majority of industry insiders now estimate that the maximum gold reserves that can be mined at the Rand Gold uranium mine are no more than 20,000 tons, but in fact, the remaining gold reserves of the Rand Gold uranium mine far exceed this figure.

For example, in the rock formation at a depth of more than 6,000 meters in the lower layer of the Tautona Gold Mine, Tang Feng even discovered a huge gold deposit with a grade of up to 38 g/t, and the output of this gold deposit alone is as high as 1,100 tons, which is enough for the Tautona Gold Mine to continue mining for ten years!

There are many large-scale gold deposits like this in the deep rock formations of the Rand Gold uranium mine, and the scale of gold reserves ranges from two or three hundred tons to more than a thousand tons, and the sum of these large-scale gold deposits alone is enough to push the overall gold reserves of the Blue Gold uranium mine to the status of 20,000 tons. Not to mention the ore that has not formed a deposit, but the actual grade has exceeded the edge grade of industrial mining.

More than 30,000 tons of gold could be mined from all the remaining rock formations of the entire Rand Gold uranium mine.

As for the platinum group metals, more so here.

South Africa's proven platinum reserves are as high as 12,000 tons, accounting for nearly ninety percent of the world's proven reserves, and most of these platinum group metals are concentrated near the Transvaal, which is actually the site of the Rand gold uranium mine. Or to put it simply, South Africa's platinum and rand gold uranium mines are basically the kind of associated mines that are inseparable from each other

Although platinum also belongs to the ranks of precious metals, and its value was once higher than that of gold, the recognition of gold's hard pass and international economic code is much higher than that of platinum, which only has industrial recognition, and the remelting process and loss of gold are far lower than that of platinum, which also determines the difficulty of the circulation and recovery of platinum non-hard pass! Therefore, platinum retains much less value than gold. This is why the reserves and production of platinum are only one-tenth that of gold. But it's rarely worth more than gold.

However, platinum also belongs to the ranks of precious metals, no matter how much the value is higher than silver, not to mention base metals such as copper and iron, and the main platinum producers in South Africa In addition to the four-petal leaf company, Anglo Ashanti and Jintian Company also have a lot of platinum mines, so in line with the principle of killing mistakes and not letting go, Tang Feng simply moved the platinum over.

Of course, Tang Feng would not be stupid enough to move all the gold and platinum in the entire Rand Gold uranium mine at once. That would have to cause an uproar.

Tang Feng carefully moved all the gold and platinum that had formed veins in the deep rock formations, and then selected those ore with higher grades and moved them together. All that was left there was ore that was not of high grade and was very difficult to mine. South Africa has the highest gold mining costs in the world, and if the mining conditions become more difficult, the eight major gold producers will cry.

Now the deepest mine in South Africa has only been dug for more than 4,000 meters, and the depth of Tang Feng's action this time is the rock formation below 4,500 meters. According to the data given by the star core, in the rock formation below this depth. More than 20,000 tons of gold have been able to be transported, as for platinum. Of the remaining 12,000 tons of platinum in the whole of South Africa, Tang Feng was able to move out 9,000 tons!

In this way, the sum of the two noble metals is nearly 30,000 tons of precious metal reserves.

This is definitely a very staggering figure, as this represents almost one-fifth of the world's proven gold reserves and 70% of the world's proven platinum reserves.

Of course, so many precious metal mines were carried over. Tang Feng used the ore vein carrying function to take them away, and then selected a few countries with better conditions, and at the right time, scattered these mines in those countries, so that it would be. Although the world is missing South Africa, the main gold producer, there are also many more countries with reserves of several thousand tons.

With such an important precious metal resource as gold, how can you be embarrassed to let South Africa alone be a country? As the saying goes, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and good things should be taken out and shared!

In the past, South Africa's gold was controlled by the eight major gold producers, and others couldn't touch your cheese, but now a master is here, my cheese is my cheese, your cheese, I like it, so it must become my cheese. This is not negotiable! The owner of the star core is so capricious!

It takes ten days to move these precious metal ores, so Tang Feng must live in the Kabakaba camp for more than ten days, and during this time, Tang Feng must not leave the area of the camp within a square kilometer of the camp, otherwise, the transportation operation will have to stop.

However, Tang Feng found a better reason when facing Sophia's somewhat resentful face.

"Honey, it's not that I don't want to play with you, it's mainly because I feel as if there are precious mineral deposits in this pristine place. But it's not very strong, so I'll have to do some surveying. So, baby, I won't be able to walk around with you these days! ”

Sophia is not an unreasonable girl, of course she knows what her boyfriend does, and now that she has something to do, of course Sophia will not be unreasonable. But fortunately, with Depp and Donnie with her, as well as the group of elephants that come every day, Sophia has had a lot of fun in the past ten days.

Of course, just playing is not a thing, and the Kabakaba campsite has a hunting indicator every year. Although hunting is prohibited in the Wanji National Forest, campsites such as Kabakaba, which have been established by local indigenous people, have additional hunting quotas each year. Because even the local indigenous people are part of the food chain of the entire forest park. For thousands of years, the indigenous people relied on hunting for food.

However, to get the hunting index, it costs a lot of money. But money is nothing to Tang Feng at all, as long as Sophia is happy, let alone tens of thousands of dollars, even if she throws 100,000 200,000 dollars, Tang Feng doesn't blink.

Therefore, Sophia, hyenas, and bears can almost bring back one or two antelopes or wildebeest when they go out every day, and there are many of these things in the African savannah, and they are not afraid of overhunting. Tang Feng, on the other hand, walked around the camp every day, as if he was doing surveys, but in fact, more and more precious metals were being carried over under the ground of this land (to be continued). )
